Some ways to cook Ile de France Camembert
Camembert is one of the most interesting cheese to use as an ingredient. This cheese has a strong character: its flavor is too intense to go with every dish, but it will spice up your pastas and salads. What might seem a downside is the greatest strength of Camembert as an ingredient, as this cheese can add star appeal to your dishes. Two popular ways to incorporate Camembert in cooking are barbecuing and roasting.
“Camembert au barbecue” is a popular dish in France: place it on an aluminum sheet, so it won’t run into the embers, season with herbs to your liking, and let it cook for about 15 minutes. To be enjoyed with bread and a drink of your choice.
You can also roast your Camembert in the oven. Served with bread, delicatessen and potatoes, it makes for a delightful dipping experience.
Really nice classic Camembert! I did enjoy this one, but it was a little different than I had anticipated. Most camemberts have a very heavy rind which make them fantastic for baking (similar to a brie). I find that MOST camembert tends to have a slight more inherent bitterness / deeper flavor over a brie, this one does NOT actually.
This camembert is very mellow, sweet, very soft right out of the fridge and only becomes more creamy and spreadable at room temperature. I'm not sure I'd bake this camembert like others I've tried (since the rind is so paper thin). I definitely think this one would be a good pairing with something like a honey comb and marcona almonds on a cheese board.
